nothing can stop the use of bitcoin. anything that way. even the use bitcoin will continue to have a good prosfek.
I think it could happen. you will not know the reason for someone to come out of the bitcoin.

My friend used bitcoin about 2 years ago and for nowadays he vacuum use bitcoin. He didn't tell me details about how he stopped use bitcoin anymore. But I'm sure he made something wrong and get vacuum.
maybe she experienced bankruptcy or have difficulty in getting free bitcoin.
I think to this end no matter that weight of bitcoin so that people will stop using bitcoin

People find it a waste of money to spend on it because they think they get no profit from.
And they do not take the risk to invest in it.
I don't think that that is the reason people aren't using Bitcoin. There are many other reasons.

The main point is that most people have never heard about bitcoin. There are not many main stream exposure about bitcoin.

True. Actually this have been circulating here. On how we can get more exposure. Maybe someone should make a thread for us to share on how we can make bitcoin exposed to the people who are not yet involved in this kind of currency.

Yes I need to agree this. We need some more special campaigns and promotions to take bitcoin to each and every common people of this globe. Unawareness of bitcoin ecosystem is the main stopping for most of the people.

We need to get somebody super rich on board, he can advertise for bitcoin and promote it in various occasions.

The availability to use it on many different stores / locations for the vast majority.

For those who heavily research into Bitcoin are seeing lots of the drama related to the devs and would probably avoid due to uncertainty.

the same things that stopped people from using the internet in 1992.

1. its cludgy. Private companies exist to help (aol then for internet, coinbase now for bitcoin)
2. no need. The internet was niche back then, bitcoin is niche now.

we're still in very early phases of what this technology can do. The main question to ask is whats stopping people from developing on top of bitcoin.

It's obvious Bitcoin is still in its infancy just as the internet was in the early 90s. It's only adopted for the so called early adopters and, in some cases,  it also attracts investors and traders.

can you blame this way of thinking though?!
in my opinion it is only rational to use something like bitcoin carefully. because first of all you should handle everything, your wallet-your money-your security-spending it,.... and on top of that the price is always moving you can have a lot of money one day and have nothing the next.
that is why i think most people are afraid or at least think twice before using bitcoin.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

the main reason is that they think that bitcoin can be used only for doing the illegal things and that it can be illegal for people to use it though in most countries its not illegal

Bitcoin is connected to black market and others things heavy,that fiat were connected and still but people think they created those coin and is a ponzi thing to steal your money,besides those we may say the oldest people doesnt know work with technology soo they avoid it.The others well they dont wanna to search or know about bitcoin ,as they dont believe on it ,soo lets say that are several reasons to dont use bitcoin but is when you dont care about what may happen tomorrow for me is the same.Bitcoin has bringeg huge investors into it ,the fact it has already 7 years and a value of 400 dollars for 1 btc should make people start to search about it atleast.

Yeah apart from the fear of being illegal they are also afraid because they always thinks Bitcoin is not forever they thinks that someday BTC will disappear

Most of the people don't understand it well because of it's complex technology. They haven't ever seen anything like it before.

If we tell them it is very similar to gold than they can easily get what BTC is.

I think people mostly don't know or don't understand what bitcoin is, that's why, as it is said in the thread for newbies - it is an ingenious mathematical technology - and sometimes that can be a little scary for people.
